Even if it's supposed to be 'critically' good but it doesn't work, I try to figure out why. If you don't enjoy action, are action-based series automatically bad? I think the point of the question is if your critical values and what you find !fun! are different, which do you default to when they conflict? OT: This hasn't happened to me much. If it's something that I'm not enjoying despite it meeting my standards, I would likely just drop without rating. I actually separate my standards from my enjoyment within my list; enjoyment level goes in the tags. Shouldn't your standard and your enjoyment be the same? Like seriously, shouldn't your standard be link with your enjoyment? Not necessarily. It depends on how you define enjoyment. For example, the sensation of bliss is different from the sensation of catharsis, which is different from general mental stimulation disconnected from emotions, and so on. If you tried to define literally any "desirable" response as "enjoyment", then they might be the same. However, I find such usage to be needlessly vague and of little use. Even when separated, one's standards and one's taste are very broad categories within which people can have major differences. Maybe I and you both enjoy action sequences, but the specifics of how we prefer the action to relate the story is different. Or maybe only one of us enjoys action sequences, both we both prefer to see them incorporated into the story in the same manner. Situations like these make differentiating between one's taste and one's standards desirable. I understand what you're saying. The point I'm making is that when we enjoy something, we should be able to tell why we enjoy it. Giving them break down on why you like the characters, the story ect should be easy since you enjoy it. I believe our emotion is link with our standards. Without your emotion a human could not distinct between good or bad. Only if you use "enjoy" in an all-encompassing sense. (I don't.) I can definitely tell someone what I like or dislike about a series, but I'm saying the reason why I like or dislike certain aspects have to do with different types of mental stimulation. If the likability stems from the structure of the story, from piecing together the individual parts of the story into some meaningful whole, or from portraying actions and circumstances in ways that I find appropriate, then I say that the "like" is coming from my standards. However, if the "like" comes from the rush I feel in an action scene, the catharsis I feel after something tragic happens that I can relate to, or from the sense of wonder that worldbuilding can bring, then I say that "like" is coming from my taste. I think there is an important difference to be made between sensations that relate to structure and those that don't. The former can be discussed more easily than the latter. |

Not really, I'm pretty honest with myself. UBW season 2 I could have given a 2/10? But maybe it deserves its 4/10 I gave I'm kind of on the fence tbh. |

No but there are shows I give high-ish scores too even though they have significant flaws. This happens when a show has problems but still has other stuff about it that leads me to like it. To Aru Majutsu no Index and Railgun fall into this category. With the exception of Railgun S which I rate highly because it is very good, I'd say they are objectively about a 5 or 6, but I lean towards 7-8 because there are strong parts that hold it up (for me at least). |

Yes, usually there are some parts I hate (example : ecchi fanservices) but other parts are well done (ex: dialogues) and I cant give it 5 cuz I really like the latter part. I also sometimes recommend anime I dislike just cuz cant resist the urge. |

I rated Shingeki no Kyojin an 8 even though I don't think I even enjoyed it that much. I thoroughly enjoyed the first arc but after that I pretty much slept through the rest so I don't think I have a valid enough opinion to rate it lower unless I actually watch it again. |

If I don't like it I'm not giving it a good rating. But since [···] JewellTH said: [···] a 5 is already a good rating according to the question, yes. By that, I mean you hate it. Whether it's the atmosphere, the genre, etc. Yet, you felt like it was still critically good or it was too innocent that you gave it a score above five? Both seasons of Code Geass, Bakemonogatari and Kimi ni Todoke are shows that I truly disliked but I valued them with a 5 or more, just because they were simply better than other garbage. |

Not really. I thought Elfen Lied was pretty awful to be honest, deserves more of a 4, but I gave it a 6 just because despite how bad it was, I still enjoyed it. There's probably a couple of others I've rated higher than I think they actually deserve, but I just rate based on enjoyment, rather than how I think about a show critically. |

To bring it back into the context of this thread, let's have a hypothetical situation. Say you watch an anime action flick: The action itself is poor for all of the reasons you generally find action poor in anime, and naturally there's quite a lot of it in said hypothetical show. However, let's also say the characters are well developed and their reasons for fighting are of interest to the show's themes, the plot is decent, etc. etc. Basically everything in the show is pretty solid save the (numerous) action scenes, which just seem to suck to you. How would you end up rating such a show, and why? You don't actually have to answer that hypothetical: I'm just trying to illustrate the difference between liking or disliking the story's structure (how the characters are portrayed, how the themes are conveyed, etc.) versus personal preferences unrelated to the story (such as the art style; various forms of fanservice including action, romance, ecchi, etc.; and so on). Do you indeed value these equally, or do you think one should be weighted more than the other (or at least differentiated)? Also, are there occasions where these two types of "likes" conflict, and if so, how do you rectify said conflicts? |

Also, are there occasions where these two types of "likes" conflict, and if so, how do you rectify said conflicts? Thanks for the compliment. I don't see a difference between taste and standards (or bias and Theory of Good Storytelling). Everytime we watch an anime, we compare it to other things we wathc, our past experience and value it according to that. Being a critic means trying to understand your test and 'biases' (In this case, a bias is a person's theory of what makes for good stories). Some people also like to challenge their tastes, try different things and look at them from different angles. There is also a different between purely sensory taste (Food, music) and more idea-based media (Literature). This is a different discussion and if you want me to go into it drop a comment on my profile. I will answer your hyothetical, though. I encountered. Digimon Tamers is a solid 10 (I'm going to add it once I finish reviewing the arcs). Its actions are very boring save for two. They're only good because one is a very dramatic moment, and one features the D-Reaper (A beautifully design thing). Since everything else in the series was good - the characters, the reasons for fighting, the drama - these action scenes had no effect whatsoever on my rating. It's a flaw, but it's so small it's nothing to compared to everything else. Art style and fanservice are not unrelated to the story. They are choices in How to Tell the Story, which is sometimes more important than the story itself. Art style is very important to me, and I care deeply how the fanservice is portrayed. How they affect the rating depends on how they're integrated and in what amount. If we're talking ecchi, Freezing is an example that sometimes gets it right (It has the sexiest character design ever, so it's okay when they flaunt it) and sometimes made you uncomfortable (Its sexual violence is often cruel, and would suit more a hentai). |

Generally if the show has a large conflict between my "objective" and subjective ratings, I don't score them. Take a show like Inferno Cop for example; Its both one of the greatest yet worst things ever made. Another good example would be Ore Twintails ni Narimasu, That show is so objectively shitty yet still one of the more entertaining shows i've ever watched. |

Yea I have. I gave Neon Genesis Evangelion a 5/10 (I didn't enjoy it at all simply because I found it to be one big clusterf#$k , however the characters were some of the best written out of any anime I've ever seen , and the overall depressing atmosphere greatly contributed to the overall feel of the show.) I could have rated it a 1/10 if I really wanted to because that is how I felt after finishing it, however I gave credit where it was due simply because I didn't think it was fair to rate it extremely low simply because I didn't enjoy it. |

I'm assuming "utter shit" is what you would call something you do not like, is that not so? "Utter shit" is what you call utter shit. To call something "utter shit" means you don't like it though, right? Or do you perhaps have a different definition for it? Hey, I'm all ears. You aren't. I've already stated multiple times that "utter shit" is what you call utter shit, not something you don't like. Just because I liked DanMachi doesn't mean I won't acknowledge its many faults. That doesn't make sense though. You don't explain what a squid is by saying it's a squid because it doesn't give any new information to help the person understand what it is. You've got to explain it properly so that I'll understand what you specifically mean by "utter shit". are you real I most certainly am. If you cannot properly explain yourself, that is perfectly fine. If you can though, I suggest you do so. i've properly explained myself like 5 times go through the quotes You've really not lad, which is why I asked you to do so :/ "Utter shit" is what you call utter shit" is not an explanation. You just look like you can't describe what you mean. UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH omfgplzstop said: Just because I liked DanMachi doesn't mean I won't acknowledge its many faults. liking something doesnt mean you dont acknowledge its faults thats a retarded assumption if a show is terrible (see: utter shit), you can still like it for one reason or another your nitpicking just makes it hard for me to not consider you stupid Something is not "utter shit" just because it has a few faults though. Every Anime has faults, but never would you call your favourites "utter shit". Bad Anime also have likeable qualities, but I wouldn't consider them "utter shit" either. I would consider Anime with no redeeming qualities to be "utter shit", like those I rate 1 for example. You appear to have your own strange definition though. It would appear that what you call "utter shit" appears to be Anime you generally consider to be bad, but has a few redeeming qualities, is that correct? are you mental Liking bad anime =/= considering them good that's all there is to it, yet you're still trying to nitpick on the 'utter shit' bit which is making me really lose faith why are you doing this I don't know what =/= means, so you're going to have to explain that to me so I can understand what you are trying to say. But seriously though, is what you consider to be "utter shit" an Anime with no redeeming qualities, or an Anime with a few redeeming qualities? It has to be one of those two because otherwise it wouldn't make sense. Please answer the question sir. wow u r mental k step by step explanation 1. utter shit = terrible 2. terrible = little to no redeeming qualities another step by step explanation 1. liking something doesnt mean you consider it good did u get it So you consider "utter shit" to be something with no redeeming qualities. Finally. I mean I asked you that twice and never got a direct answer, but it seems now you're able to explain yourself. Well done lad, although it took you a couple tries :) the fact you needed me to spell it out word for word so you can finally understand does not allow you to use that attitude I kind of had to because you weren't speaking clearly and wasn't reading my posts correctly. I directly asked you the same question twice and you dodged it both times, choosing to randomly insult me for whatever reason instead of giving me a proper answer and somehow gave me your answer many posts later for whatever reason. i mean it really isnt that complicated Obviously not, so that makes me wonder why you complicated it further with your poor explanations :S |

aikaflip said: Definitely Nana. Some of the characters in that series really pissed me off. However, since I try to rate "objectively", I gave it an 8 for art, writing, etc although my personal enjoyment dropped to a 3. Can't believe a 30-something grown man would get offended by realistic mistakes that fictional young adults do in a show, it's usually kids who hate shows for being personnally offended by the characters Mine would prob be mushishi, show itself is inoffensive and liked it at first but hate how the whole show is pretty much the same thing over and over, should have been a short series or ova with better polish so episodes wouldn't feel the same art/direction-wise |
